so the glass on my car is fixed, and i have a rear windshield again, thank god.

mom and g-ma are back in san francisco, i dropped them off at the airport yesterday, and i drove my bro's car to do that, so that was quite fun, pimpin it in the accord.
dad came home from his china/taiwan trip today, its good to have him home.
my cousin is on a 3 day fishing trip with my neighbors, so everything's been pretty chill at home.
my bro has been at the office alot, selling those rims, baby. holla holla.

yes those were my family updates, lol.

um. so i was at work today, i like to work on weekdays, i've decided, because not alot of people shop then, and it's nice to just chill out and do things at my own pace. plus today i was with my cool managers so that made it better. yay!

i think i'm getting sick, and i feel like i have a fever, but i don't understand why. perhaps it is the varying temperatures in my house. downstairs is burning up because the A/C is messed up there, i think we need new filters or something like that. upstairs tres cold and i have a jacket on. oh well. i just hope i dont get sick, because that will be so damn unfortunate.

so let's see. i'm not allowed to drive my car out anymore, except for work (and school, when it comes to that time). it sucks and i hope my dad will lighten up about that sooner or later. i have no idea when i'll be allowed to drive around anymore, pretty much i'm not supposed to go to parties and sketchy areas, but i guess to work and the mall is okay. i'm not gonna push it right now anyway. i feel really bad about it though, because ash and lex have to drive me everywhere now, especially when we go out bc i have no other ride. i do appreciate the rides from them and i'm glad i don't have to ...... uh. walk everywhere. lol. thanks guys. i love you!

i watched "down with love" the other day, and i reeeeeeally liked it! haha, i wonder why i didn't see it in the cinema. i like ewan mcgregor alot, i realized. plus renee zellweger, i cannot get over her performance in chicago. that was insanely good and i love that movie. lol.

speaking of movies. i'm gonna see harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban tomorrow at midnight!!!!!!!!!!! HARDCORE HARRY POTTER FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE EXCITED!!!!! hahahaha. so am i! the third book was my favorite, so i'm uber excited for this one. plus it looks all dark and different than the other two because alfonso cuaron is the brand spankin new director for this one. i heard the uniforms changed, as well as malfoy's hair, and hermione gets to punch malfoy.. ooh exciting. SIRIUS BLACK IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER so i'm stoked to see it all happen and unfold.

holy shit i sound like the biggest GEEK in the world when i get started on harry potter. ENOUGH!

i'm going to go be a hermit in my room and read my YM magazine.

muah, i love y'all!

now. i have a question for you.

why is it that it's always MY CAR that gets fucked up all the time?

i don't get it, i really don't.

i'm at chase's house hanging out with him, and when i leave, i find that the rear windshield of my car has been smashed in. just dandy right? the funny thing is that i didn't hear it happen, and my car alarm didn't go off. strangest fucking thing in the world.

!@(!$^!&!@)($^$*&@#)!($^&@*#!@

the next car i get, is not going to be yellow. i seriously think that because it's so bright, it attracts too much unwanted attention. i'm going to get a black car with a fucking dark tint and i'll have the most fucking hightech alarm system on it.

ARGH. it's the most frustrating thing. it's not like i pissed anyone off recently, and i can't think of anyone who hates me that much to find my car and throw a fuckin rock at the windshield. furthermore, i'm so damn protective of my car all the time and many people know that, but yet it's my car that gets screwed.

now my car is in the garage, the backseat covered in shattered glass. i'm afraid that the paint will get scratched by the glass shards. but what the fuck am i supposed to do now?!?!?!

i'm pissed and depressed. i hate paying out the ass to fix my car every time someone decides to not think with their fucking BRAINS.

a great big FUCK YOU!!!! to stupid people who have no sense of respect for other people's shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oO Sunday, May 23, 2004 at 07:44 p.m. Oo

holy shiattttt.
i am so incredibly sore right now that i can't move more than an inch without feeling the burn.

no i didn't have mad crazy sex all night long. it's because of the all nighter graduation party (aka project grad).

i will start my story from the beginning.

in the beginning, it was saturday morning, bright and early at 5am, holly awakes, jumps in the shower, puts on some nice clothes and meets lexi and ashley outside her house and they head off towards the direction of school. (okay no more third person). pit stop at xavier for our side mission, which concluded miserably because of the damn security/maintenence dudes. i wont say what exactly our mission was, only a few know and we will keep it at that.

anyway we go to AJ's real quick and pick up some drinks bc we're hardly awake, coffee for the girls and a strawberry italian soda for me. drive to brophy for graduation, wait in lines for a reeeeeeeally long time, got awesome seats, the ceremony was better than ours, the senior address by mike rathwell kicked ASS, it was so awesome and almost made me cry. after the ceremony we threw confetti over alot of people, took more pictures and just congratulated everyone we knew. invites to grad lunches that i had to turn down bc .... dun dun dun... i had to work.

so ash and i go grab some food from sonic, then go to my house to makan (hahah malay for "eat"). i change quick, and then head off to work. holy shit 5 hours of torture. i was so excited for project grad that i didnt wanna work and i was just exhausted already. eh. plus all our computers failed at one point and people couldn't buy stuff for a while, it was CHAOS. anyway, i finally made it out of there alive.

head to ben (shaps)'s house for a preparty, which was quite fun, he has a gorgeous house. plus everyone was trashed when i finally got there, but i was DD for the girls so i was good. more pics there, and just some pre grad party partying. hahahaha.

on to THE GRAD NIGHT PARTY!!!!!!!! finally. 9pm to 4am baby. i was almost denied admittance bc they couldnt find my ticket stuff but i was like BIATCHES I PAID LET ME IN!! anyway here's a recap. there was:
a mechanical bull, velcro wall, obstacle course, laser quest, oversized twister, huge bouncy slide, bungee run, boxing bouncy castle, a dj, free food and drink, a casino, handwriting analysis, sleep room, a memory wall, portrait pictures, picture magnets, raffle drawings for cash prizes (i won 50 dolla!!), roller skating, a card magician, a money grab thingy, and a hypnotist. it was AWESOME and i had the best time in the world!!!

however, i can't feel my legs bc they are so sore, thanks to all the roller skating i did, which i had to get the hang of at first, but it was the shit. i also have bruises bc i ate it a couple times in the roller rink, plus i hurt my shoulder when i went through the obstacle course. but it was FUN! i was pretty much dancing everywhere and with everyone because i can't stop dancing. hahahaha!.. omg i would relive it all again. maybe except for the hypnotist part, bc that was just crap.

the only thing that sucks about it all, is that i meet so many cool people just as i graduate. it's really not so fair because it seems like i wasted alot of time and didn't really do anything about it, and i guess that's the sad thing about graduating, right? gah, regret sucks.

everybody read the lyrics to the left, from "so long astoria" by the ataris, because it's my pesonal graduation song.

well. it's really over now.

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

i love you guys!!

oO Thursday, May 20, 2004 at 01:13 p.m. Oo

so let's talk graduation.

my brother's graduation was tight, a little long, a little boring, but it was alright. but alot of people in the audience brought those foghorn things and they kept going off, plus lotsa people hollerin and stuff. my brother's classmate did a backflip onstage, some architecture dude had a little house built on his cap, and trav had his collar popped, as usual. hehe it was fun! and we had our family dinner with trav's family too and the food was sooooo good. hahahaha.

saturday was my graduation, which was also long and boring, plus the air conditioning broke and we were dying of heat stroke in the church. burning up in our caps and gowns, fo sho. anyway, i didn't trip and eat it so i was pretty proud of myself. it was a nice ceremony, really traditional but it worked out i guess. lotsa pictures, flashes everywhere, but all to remember a great day, right?

i've been going out every night since friday, and i'm just pooped out. friday was jason's party for mitch, saturday was jason's again then to bren's then to bailie's, then sunday was lexi's grad party, then monday back to bailie's, tuesday was ben's, and then wednesday was bren's again. HOLY MOLEY. 3 of those nights were spent .. not in my own bed, so it's been nice to sleep in my own bed again. i really don't feel like recapping all the details of all those parties so i'll just mention a few random things:
there were trampolines, lotsa icecream, a waterbed, fuzzy slippers, crazy driving, bowling, hot tubbin, me in my underwear, walking into trees and bushes and cactuses and other fun stuff, secret handshakes and lotsa lovin all night long.

wow. i'm definitely partied out for now. i kinda just wanna chill tonight, and i think i might go over to see shan's new house and hang there for a while. or maybe just stay home.

the all nighter project graduation thingy is on saturday and it's goin to kick ass. bailie tells me to play as much games and do all the fun stuff i can. so VELCRO WALL HERE I COME!!!!

i got my pictures developed, and i have 3 VERY BEAUTIFUL pictures of the brophy streakers. also lots of grad pics, and grad party pics. not too shabby.

i have to go help out at my bro's office now. eh. more paperwork and more papercuts for me. yay!

i definitely had a fantastic day. it was soo great and i will begin to tell you why now!

so early mornin 9.30am we gotz da graduation practice once again. no big. it didn't last as long, and we got the walking down the aisles in the church thing down pat. except that sister joan CANNOT get my middle name right. anyway, we got the senior issue of the xpress, with all the senior last wills and testaments, awesome awesome. plus a copy of the pierian spring, our schools annual literary and artistic magazine. later the senior moms handed out our final gifts. they were light green bags (like the tiffany and co ones) and they called it "breakfast at tiffany's", with a bunch of goodies inside. let's see. a notepad, a face mask, a pearl necklace, a sample of jessica simpson's new cosmetic line "dessert", a heart shaped scone, a bottle of fiji water, a lollipop, and a nail file. pretty damn sweet if you ask me.

so we go over, grab some food and head back to brophy to spend lunch with the boys. so we get there and it's mass chaos because about 20-30 seniors donned their swim team speedos with "BROPHY" emblazoned on their asses, and masks of all sorts, complete with a running flag that screamed out "SENIORS!!" and a boom box playing what really sounded like the party boy song, and they ran all the way from brophy, across the field and onto xavier's campus, ran around xavier, dodged the security and ran all the way back. we of course followed them onto the field, snapped some timeless pictures and just revelled in the fact that xavier's administration couldnt do a thing about it because mr. gmelich (brophy's dean) had approved the whole thing. it was AMAZING. we laughed, cheered and heard the xavier girls squeal and clap as the horde of practically nekkid boys ran across campus. that had to be THE FUNNIEST thing i had ever seen. i can't wait to get those pictures developed. oh and not only that, so we learned that apparently there's a tradition at brophy for the seniors who have little freshman brothers, well. yea the older bros dunk their younger ones into the fountains on their campus. haha! i watched 2 or 3 kids get dunked and i heard that there had been more. it was absolutely hysterical.
god. i love brophy. WHY COULDNT I HAVE GONE THERE? lunch at brophy = most amusing times ever...... yesterday another senior prank that was approved of by alot of the teachers.. so i hear. well apparently a bunch of seniors took the tires off mr. gmelich's car and hid the lug nuts all over campus, and he had to go to classrooms and perform tasks or do activities or something like that to get his lug nuts back. we personally saw the car! haha oh man. SO AWESOME.

well after all that funness and exhilaration, we go home and i go lay out by my pool to try and get tan, and it worked. haha so i guess my graduation dress will look that much better on me now. the amazing (and devastating) effects of the sun. i think i'll get skin cancer, wrinkle up and die when i'm 30.

my bro got home and we went shopping at DRidge. i ended up buying 2 new skirts and a pair of hoop earrings. so i'm pretty much broke now. my bro got some pimp ass earrings, bc he recently got an ear pierced and he wanted some ice to show off. he's rockin the rocks now, ballin with da bling. straight up playa!!! hahahahaha. i'll quit that now.

so my mom's friend who is staying with us whipped up some kick ass japanese food for dinner and that concludes my amazing day.

i couldn't ask for more. my heart goes out to all the senior streakers, will you all please MARRY ME?!?!

so i've loved every minute of being a senior. and it's days like these which makes me wish i wasn't graduating on saturday.

highschool is over for me, folks.
it's the weirdest feeling in the world. i will never have to wear that plaid skirt and oxfords and polos ever again. no more all girls school. no more compulsory theology classes. no more fries and nacho cheese. no more knee high socks. no more jane schaffer paragraphs. no more pep rallys or assemblies. no more mandatory mass to attend. no more mornings of throwing on wrinkly uniforms and messy, nappy hair. no more mike the leprauchan. no more shitty parking tags (well. this will probably continue). and finally, no more xavier.

it's tough to think about it, because technically i'm not that emotional about it just yet. it's like it hasn't hit me yet and i'm beginning to wonder why. i mean i've grown up in my 4 years there, good times, bad times, bonding and fighting. it all happened and i think i haven't come to terms with it just yet. don't get me wrong, i bitch about the school and the system and everything, which i probably still will in the future when they call my house for donations and shiat, but for sure it 's all the memories that i've created and stored that i will always treasure and keep with me.

Class of 2004, it's been grand.


so enough sappy bs. yesterday was my last day of school, as y'all know by now. had finals up the ass and managed to get through them with quite a large amount of struggling. LCV blew because i didn't have enough time to write all i knew about all those things she asked about. curse you essay exams! AP psychology, well technically not so bad, but then when i think about all the stupid mistakes i made, i cringe. the super achiever in me doesn't want to accept anything less than that 5, and i'll be incredibly disappointed if i don't get it. lots of personal reasons why, but we will find out in july.
lexi's dad got free tickets to the arizona diamondbacks vs. new york mets baseball game, so naturally i went with her, plus alex came along too. except we were supposed to meet larky, but we were running late and he couldnt find us. (CHILD YOU NEED A CELL PHONE!) more on that later. but anyway the game was pretty fun, we were rowdy as usual, and these 4 little kids were giving us the stares of death bc we seemed to be interrupting their baseball time with luis gonzalez. man it was scary how into it they were. i don't find the game of baseball particularly stimulating, but i tried to watch the game. lol. don't get me wrong though, i really did enjoy myself.

let's see. this morning, graduation practice. eh. boring as all hell, i was seriously itching to get out of there. of course, sister joan mispronounced my middle name, and i laughed. she's going to butcher it on saturday. hmm. after practice, we went and had lunch and brought some mickey d's to larky because we felt bad about the whole baseball game, so a nice lunch he got. except that silly jason ran off with it and tried to eat the food in charlie's car. totally had to chase him down the parking lot. eh. boys will be boys, and theyre always sooo hungry. anyway after a trek around the brophy campus and running into alot of people. we finally got down to st. mary's, to bring brian his lunch because his birthday was on monday. apparently their lunch ends 10 minutes before ours usually does, so we were definitely late. after another trek around their campus, lol, which was a little scary because they have alot of glass windows in their classrooms and so the probably saw us wandering around. lol. we got to the visitor's office and dropped off his lunch with a special note.

so i get home, try to clean my room and fail miserably. my mom, grandma (g-ma) and my mom's friend arrive from san francisco. they're all here for my bro's and my graduation ;) we have a nice dinner and my bro and i go catch mean girls. (well, more like i drag him to watch it with me). it was actually pretty damn funny and i liked it. tina fey is a genius, i definitely like lindsay lohan better than hilary duff, and jonathan bennett reminds me of someone i know. i conclude my movie review now.

fun day, fo sho.

now to go chill in my room and listen to music till i fall asleep, because that's the "fetch" thing to do. ;)

kisses!

today's finals were a bitch.
i was in such a crappy mood this morning because i was freakin out over physics and math. my god. i didn't finish the physics one, but i got to go back at lunch and complete it, phew. both however, were not so bad, but there were a few questions that i just drew a blank on, so i scribbled down some random junk and hoped for the best.
sign language was alright, i pretty much know enough signs to get me through. she gave a short story at the end and that totally messed me up. for example, she signed "i am happy with my life right now", and i got "i am satisfied with where i live" ....... yeah whatever, it's over now.

now only my LCV and ap psychology exams remain... plus alot of english homework that is just so simply ABSURD of my teacher to assign now. on my LAST day of school, i have a presentation, a course evaluation, and some activity thingy to do on the short stories/poems we were supposed to read (hmm. i didn't read them, but you know that already) and i'm like WTF you stupid man! we've already taken the AP english lit. exam, there is no point to his class anymore! STUPID STUPID STUPID. and i still have to do the damn work bc theyre the last grades that will keep my B in the class. such bull.

today we picked up our caps and gowns for graduation. it's all becoming so real now. i tried on the whole she-bang, and i felt so old. but a nice satisfactory sense of achievement. hmm.

and i've come up with the idea that sneezing is completely pointless. i've had a few sneezing fits tonight and i realize they don't really serve a purpose. maybe to indicate that there's alot of dust around? whatever.

see what stress does to my mind?!?!?!

ONE MORE DAY FOLKS, AND I WILL OFFICIALLY BE DONE WITH HIGHSCHOOL.

P.S.: my tagboard is way messed up. maybe the admin will fix it up or something, and i'm contemplating getting just individual comment thingys for each entry. who wants to help me set that up? :)

i'm trying to understand and comprehend a semester's worth of physics, precalc and sign language. and it's not working very well.
i see these finals as a last ditch effort to redeem my grades to something worth looking at. if not then im screwed and my dad will throw a fit and you will never see me again.

all i want to do right now is either eat ice cream or go shopping. both of which i WILL DO as soon as i'm done with my exams.

friday night: i only ended up getting out of the house really late, due to some reasons i won't mention. but yeah brian had people over so we just went over there and kicked it for a bit. it was nice to see the boys again, it had been a long time since we hung out with them. later we went over to ben's house, which was a little weird, bc everyone was in the hot tub, and we didn't have our swim suits so we just chilled.

tonight: my most laid back day at work. i loved it! hahaa honestly i feel like shooting myself after work, usually.. but today was different. we got a new manager who is just sooo chill and so cool so we pretty much hung around at the store. plus, not alot of people were shopping. beats me. but i can't complain, i like it when it's not busy. hmm. later was a pretty pointless night of driving around. i guess not alot of stuff was going on tonight. due to finals and stuff happening next week.

so friends.
school is almost over for me. let's review my schedule.

monday: physics, precalc and sign language finals.
tuesday: love and christian vocation, and psychology AP finals.
wednesday: graduation practice (till 11.30, i think, maybe i'll bring lunch for the boys? heh. we'll see)
thursday: grad practice, just like wednesday.
friday: no school. but my brother's graduation from ASU at 5.30pm. then family celebratory dinner.
saturday: my graduation, baby. 9am. bye bye xavier. bye bye highschool. 'notha family dinner.
sunday: lexi's graduation party.
following week: work/grad parties.......
saturday the 22nd: project graduation all nighter party. see you at the velcro wall!

so all in all, my highschool days are coming to a close. >>2<< more days of school left, and we graduate. wow.

i got my shoes for the grad ceremony. silly school wants us to wear white or tan shoes with backstraps. bc i don't own many shoes w/ backstraps that are that color (doh), i went shopping after work today and finally found a pair. it sucks to go shoe shopping for me because my feet are so small that they just don't have cute shoes for my size feet. the ones i got are nice enough, beige strappy things, nothing spectacular. partly because they were the only ones that fit. lol. pain in the ass.

um okay. so it's really late, and i don't know why i'm still up, but i think i'll go lay down and listen to some mellow music and maybe get a little contemplative and nostalgic about highschool memories. (if you have a copy of the xavier yearbook, turn to page 33 for some hottness. haha PIMP)

oh, and if you want to leave a message, use the guestbook for the time being, because my tagboard is having some issues because some servers are down and stuff. just a click away!

Baccalaureate mass was last night and it was a really nice affair. the service was one of the better ones i've experienced at xavier and the slideshow with all the pictures of all the seniors was so poignant. there were some funny pictures, some really cute and some really made alot of people feel sentimental. lexi put in some cool pictures of us and there was a funny one of me at a rally with my senior shirt and a sign that said "go seniors!", it was a little embarrassing but at least everyone laughed. (by the way, now that larky has a blog, and that he's probably reading this, THANKS FOR THE BROPHY SENIOR SHIRT!!! i am now officially a king of brophy!! hehe)
ya know, i think i'll really miss what xavier's offered me, i hate to say it i guess, but college is going to be so different, i don't know how it will really be without having the supportive foundation that i've been with for 4 years.

the last day of school for the seniors is next tuesday, one week away. we graduate on the 15th. it's coming so soon!! but in the meantime we're having our exams and it's a little scary how unprepared i am. i guess i won't be going out this weekend because i really have to study for my finals, or my dad will kill me when he sees the shitty grades i've been getting this quarter.

on a lighter note, we got our prom pictures today! man i love it when duke photography gives us our pictures in a jiffy. during lunch i had put my head down on my book to try the osmosis method for my sign language test during the next class (it failed me.. once again) and when i looked up i saw shannon walking back with our picture packages in her hands! so awesome! my couple pictures with jon turned out great, bc in the picture he picked me up and i was kinda worried if i looked scared if he was going to drop me, or if he looked like he was in pain or something, lol. but they look pretty sweet and my dress draped very nicely. woofreakinhoo! our group picture is even better because we had the guys sit on the girl's laps, and they are kickass. definitely the best pictures i've taken at a dance. also, i got my pictures developed (2 disposable camera's worth baby!) and those are pretty tight too. :)

i figure that since these are our last days in highschool, i'll be taking a crapload of pictures. not too shabby of an idea, eh? hahaha.

my english project is calling my name. check y'all later, playas.

Prom 2004
"Romance and Roses"

i have to say, i had the best time at prom ever! it was fun, and pretty damn awesome all around and i honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience of it all.

well okay there were a few minor glitches, but who said everything was going to be perfect, right? i guess my day started with getting my hair done, which i was really pissed about, because it took 2 and a half hours with three people working on my hair. *blink* yeah you read that right. i was so incredibly antsy for them to hurry the crap up because they made me so late. they took forever to curl my hair and they couldn't even put it back nicely for me, so i had to tell them to stop and i did it myself. i was like WTF you imbeciles! i had a few urges to just run out of there and go home and do it all myself. ANYWAY with that whole messed up thing, i had to go pick up my boutonniere and then i rushed home to get ready. threw on the dress, did the makeup, had some frantic phonecalls and dad snapped some pictures and ashley and her date (his name is jon, for for clarity's sake her jon will be "ashley's jon", and mine will be "my jon", since we both had dates named jon. whoa.) came and got lexi and i and then we headed over to mel's house.
so mel's house had like 1947190312 people there as a meeting spot and it was mad crazy. lots of pictures and cameras flashing in every direction and sparkles and glitter in every direction you turned. it was like prom at her house, lol. but anyway, i met up with my jon there and shan and brenden there too and everything so it all worked out! don't you love it when everything is peachy?

the drive to prom was fun bc my jon's car is just awesome and he has a kickin sound system that he recently installed and we were pimpin it fo sho.
now.. prom itself... let's see, we got our portrait pictures done first as well as our group picture, which is going to kick ass because theyre crazy and fun, not traditional because who wants to be traditional at prom? well okay maybe some people do, but i sure as hell didn't. anyway, our table was placed right in front of the dance floor and i was like woohoo! they knew they had to put us up front! the food was alright, i didn't eat much because i just wasn't feelin the civic plaza food at all, and i even missed the dessert because i was walking around taking tons of pictures with lots of people that i kinda neglected the cheesecake/whatever cake it was. no big. okay i have to say i'm really glad that i got to dance this year and not get stuck in picture lines forever. so yeah, i thought the band wasn't that fantastic because i much rather have a dj but that was okay, we danced quite a fair bit and that was great because i got some "dancing in action" pictures and haha those are the best.

holy shit i'm rambling alot. hahaa anyway we left prom, and my jon and i rolled out in style with his DOPE sound system just setting off car alarms and everything so i was thoroughly amused. hahahaha!

we went to a hotel party at the embassy suites and that was alright, just too many people in a hotel room and it was alright, we changed out of our dresses and of course i forgot flip flops so definitely looked like a stripper in my 4 inch stilettos. but we didn't stay long and later we just went back to ashley's jon's house and partied there and went to bed.
morning after, we all stumble out of bed and my jon drives us to denny's and we have breakfast, once again with us with our hair half done still and jon in his tux still and me in my hooker shoes. it was awesome and we defintely got some stares. i awarded jon the "best date" award because he was still in his tux, danced, didn't ditch me and oh yeah, drove us around alot. then he came up with a new word of "man butter" and i will leave it up to your imagination to what that refers to. :) good times, my friends. then home it was and that concludes my whole senior prom experience.

i enjoyed every minute of it and that's all i have to say.

These are the best days of our lives.

is just following your heart
and eventually you'll finally get it right.
